Update, December 21, 2020: The internet is full of rumors at all times...we all know this, which is why we hesitate to really believe something until we know it to be true. And while we had heard some rumblings and had seen some proof that Doritos was bringing back its beloved 3D snack, we finally have the official announcement on our hands.
Doritos announced today that it would be releasing Doritos 3D Crunch, the '90s snack but made even better. They described it as the same shape, but with "even more bold and spicy flavor," which we will never, ever say no to. The snack will be available in stores in two flavors: Spicy Ranch and Chili Cheese Nacho.
The best part is you won't even have to wait long to get them: They'll be back in stores starting on Monday, December 28, just in time for you to ring in the new year with a spicy crunch. Is there any other way???
Original, December 9, 2020: Some childhood treats were so good, we still wonder why they would ever be ripped from shelves. Dunkaroos made an epic comeback this year, and now our hearts will really be complete with Doritos 3D Crunch.
Chances are, the last time you had 3D Doritos, it was in the early 2000s, since that’s when the snack was discontinued. What made these bad boys so special? The triangle-shaped chips were miniature-sized, and (as the name suggests) in 3D, so when you popped one in your mouth, you got an epic crunch even with the hole in the middle.
Rumors about the return of 3D Doritos began swirling on Instagram and Reddit over the past 3 weeks, and now we have word from Frito-Lay, the parent company of Doritos, that they’re actually coming back. The Frito-Lay Playbook details what we can expect during the first quarter of the new year. No offense to the other snacks, but all eyes are on the Doritos.
The Doritos 3D Crunch will be available in Chili Cheese Nacho and Spicy Ranch flavors. According to the company, the chips were the number-one most requested product on the Frito-Lay consumer contacts. No shocker here!
Unlike many products that we get a glimpse of in advance, we won’t have to wait long to reignite our ‘90s snacking. They’re expected to be welcomed on shelves on or around Jan. 18, 2021. If this is a sign for what’s in store on the snacking front in the new year, we’re going to be treating ourselves quite a bit!
